Yeah,
I was at his house several years ago and we had a long talk about them.I think it was about (97) I was out in West Texas messing around and stopped by old Buzz's place for a bit.He was showing Aaron and I all his Knobs and alterna etc....
He pulled out a few baby alterna that where just killer.One was a anery and one was so speckled we where just blown away.
He said it was his half of the clutch from a breeding loan with DD.
He said that he ( or Kathy probably LOL...) had collected a female on the east cuts of Sanderson.He said he had no match for it and that Dave had a male from the North cuts and asked Buzz to do a breeding Loan.
This is Just what Buzz said to us and I have never spoke to Dave about it so there is always two sides to every story and I am just saying what was said from one side.
Buzz would have no reason at al to say they where 9 x 9 animals unless they really where.It would have been beter for him to say they where pure north or east cut snakes but he didn't.
I guess it was about (2000) and I was in Utah and staying at Rics house.We where going through his snakes and he showed me some pretty small ( maybe yearlings?)nice alterna and one was anery and several where possible hets or whatever at the time.I asked him about the snakes and he wasn't totally sure if they where north east or west cut snakes but he knew they where from Sanderson and they where all from DD.
I told him about the conversation I had with Buzzard and he said that he wasn't sure and he would check on there "LOCALE"...
Anyway, a few years later I was staying with Ric again and we checked out the snakes again and now they where about all adults and just awesome looking.He had adults,sub-adults,yearlings and hatchlings.He said to me that every year Dave would send him the best of the sanderson's he produced.
I can tell you that the snakes that Buzz had at his house and the snakes that Ric had at his house where exactly the same looking snakes.I can't say for sure that Dave didn't have a pure pair of 9-north and was sending Ric babies from them and then useing the same male on Buzz's 9-east female but I highly doubt it.
Maybe Dave will read this and chime in and can shed some light on it but a couple years ago when Dusty Roads ( the American dream....)posted pics of them we all talked about it then and never really got any clear answers.
Anyway, I still believe that they are 9 x 9 snakes and they are just generic alterna and totally beautiful.
